I'm looking into purchasing a used Sprint G Note 2 from my local pawnshop for $350. I placed it on lay a way for $35 down, without even researching the flashing to cricket(my carrier) aspect. It was an impulse buy since i thought to myself that $350 was a hell of a deal. Flashing it shouldn't be a problem for me, what I'm really curious about is the LTE radio and whether there are ANY possible ways of using it with Cricket's 4g. I know the sim cards are provided with any phone cricket sells and that they come individually with each phone. Does the sprint note 2 have a micro sim slot for LTE? is activation possible if a sim is acquired by some miracle? what about a never programed sim? hmm.. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Jesus C.

Well on the note 2 for sprint the sim is embedded in the device so you would not be able to just pop in a new sim. Maybe if you can somehow spoof your phone as an official cricket 4g lte device??? Actually dont*think it will work because of the different frequencies of the lte radios in these devices but it will not hurt to try.

OK so I used dfs like in the S3 tutorial and for some reason nothing sticked except the prl on the phone... And now dfs wont start up now :/ I keep clicking on the application but its not popping up

U have to get it a few sec for it to start. Just use the s3 guide to flash the same or qpst. I have connected to the qpst when i was the ma7 but i was on the pinky and brain rom. It would go offline in a few sec. S3 dont work but the note 2 does.

Sorry for steering off topic but I'm from chicago and I have flashed tons of phones to CricKet but now they claim they cannot activate a dual/quad band phone in a triband area. Is there a work around for this? I've tried using a different address but then I'm told that a flashed phone cannot be activated on the address given. Im confused but willing to consume info on this trick to get things going. Thanks in advance

I would start by trying to work with an authorized dealer vs a corporate dealer. Then there is much discussion about using flashed phones in AWS areas. There's talk about PRLs and more. There is even a Chicago area thread. I'd look for those.

I wanted to add my 2 cents about flashing and loosing flash when installing a ROM. My sprint evo 3d lost flash with a custom ROM. I did find if I used user 1 and not 0 the settings stuck. This may be the same here. But on the virgin one v, I used user 0 like the tutorial. Just something to look at or try
